Say What You Mean Podcast

On this episode, Jake sits down with special guests Dr. Donna Sinclair and John Oberg to discuss how they first became aware of environmental issues. They discuss the dust bowl and how U.S. policy helped create the problem, exasperated the issue further during the crisis, and then played an instrumental role in correcting it. The three specifically highlight some of the stories and information in the book “The Worst Hard Time” by Timothy Egan. Dr. Sinclair then goes into the specific policies that the U.S. federal government used to combat the effects of the great depression. In the last segment, the three discuss the future of environmental policy, what role the U.S. is playing globally on this issue, what different international organizations are doing to address climate change, and the challenges that environment advocates face going forward at the global level.
